Mohd, Thanks for your suggestion. I would like to try it out just for 1 problem. If I disable the current volume (which SMS managed) then there could be a problem with allocation of dsns on that given volume. I think your suggestion is very sound.

Make sure to disable the current volume to ensure the new catalog not reside to the same volume. The new volume must be added to the storagegroup. If you like to guarantee space define the usercat to sms routine to DClass guarantee space. This is must easier. Below I copy the JCL.

The catalog is SMS managed and the STORAGECLASS I will be using is GUASPACE. Below is the cluster definition. I am not sure if I am missing anything. Could someone take a quick look and let me know if it is okay? //DEFINE EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,COND=(4,LT) //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * DEFINE - USERCATALOG - (NAME (SYS1.ICFCAT.UCATPLN) - CYL(25) - VOLUME(PLAN906) - STORAGECLASS(GUASPACE) - ICFCATALOG - STRNO(3) - FREESPACE(20 20) - NOIMBED - LOCK - SHAREOPTIONS(3 4)) - DATA( - CONTROLINTERVALSIZE(4096)) Thanks in advance. __________________________________________________________________ Connect with friends from any web browser - no download required.
